Hey Guys,
I wanted to root my xperia zl on firmware 10.4.B.0.569 (LB),
so i flashed the old 10.3.1.A.2.67 and installed XZDualRecovery.
So far all worked fine.
As i wanted to update/root with NUTs method i accidentially first flashed C6503_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf before flashing C6503.flashable.10.4.B.0.569.zip.
I wanted to flash 10.3.1.A.2.67 and start again as i did not want do brick my phone, but this failed...
Flashtool detects my phone in flashmode, but all atempts to flash any ft file are aborted:
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
I hope somebody can help me and know what i should do.
solved
Okay, Sorry for posting,
after countless atempts it just suddenly worked to flash the stock 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware
:laugh:

thank you, problem sorted out by using flash.
Should we refuse the update whenever we get the notification for unrooted Arc S?
Planning to get an Arc S this month,I am just a little worried if update notifications might brick the phone.

Please help !!!!
I have the same problem and have tried various solutions suggested on here, all to no avail. Can some kind person break it down in simple steps for me, I would be eternally grateful.
Had the same issue to get to .62.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed ICS beta
The key is by using the flashtool if you want to
Do NOT use OTA update nor SEUS if you unlocked your bootloader. Its common that you will brick your phone. And if you want to remove the message from your phone just freeze the update service apk using titanium backup or any other application that can freeze applications.

I'm guessing this response might be a bit late but I recently had this. Tried so many different things including flashing different ROMs with fastboot. Eventually used the "unbrick ota ROM" trick and it worked.have a quick search and u will find it on the forum somewhere.
Phone Unbricked again with sucess
Hi guys i want to share some information who was useful for me with Xperia Arc S 12w07 :
Important : Dont make normal updates with SEUS ou PCC if your phone was unlocked by other tool, because you will brick the phone, you need to start using other firmwares, but ask for opinions first..
After Alejandrissimo unbrick my phone, the phone ask me to do update to new version, so i click yes to make thet update, and after 5 seconds gave me one error in update, so my phone was dead again with yellow triangle with one phone, so i talk to alejandrissimo again and he gave one file to fix the phone again with Flashtool, so i will share with you ok, but i think i already saw this file in other post..
Steps :
1º - Install Flashtool - flashtool-0.9.10.1
1.1º - Google and find this file : " [Xperia Device] flashmode & fastboot driver bundle " and install all..
2º - Install all Drivers
3º - In flashtool be sure if the drivers already installed, sometimes the file install but in pc need to install more with the phone connected
4º - Select Flash Mode
5º - Put the fix file in folder firmware of flastool, and you can delete the other file x10 in the same folder you dont need.
6º - In " Program Files\Flashtool\devices\LT18 " you have this file loader.sin, when you try to flash if he give this error : " cant find loader_unlocked.sin ", then you need to rename the " loader.sin " file to " loader_unlocked.sin", and then flash again, and will work..
If was simple bick like my phone it will be fix it, maybe for other phones is the same, check the devices folder for the files and if you need to rename like i did...
Hope this help for some people ok..:good:
Now i need to update to new version of android, but i need to see what is the correct file to flash or i will brick my phone again..
Tks to Alejandrissimo again, he teach me to do that.. :fingers-crossed:

You have to unlock your boot loader and install a CWM loaded kernel because every time you change your ROM on a locked boot loader, you wipe your /system (partition with your CWM on it) so you lose CWM.

My LT15i got upgraded to .62 version via OTA and I wanted to downgrade it to .42 to root it safely and easily. Something didn't work out and after flashing the downgrade my phone got bootlooped. I downloaded different official ROMs to go back to, but I can't flash them

Any ideas what can I do? I didn't use fastboot since I'm not sure what should I do with it, just flashtool.
Just keep flashing it or use Update Service to repair it.
There are dozens of generic ROMs.
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491066
Use Flashtool repeatedly.. doesn't always work the first time around..
Does the LED indicator change after a while of being plugged in in flash mode? Check this, as I kept having the same issue. I just kept yanking the cable out and plugging it back in and repeating the procedure over and over until it fianlly flashed the kernel for me.
Was using arcknight kernel when i got stuck in bootloop, flashed to stock kernel and repaired over SEUS before unlocking BL and rooting once again using zergrush

The problem is, I used to have root and CWM installed, but now I can't enter it, because when I flash the ROM, it gets stuck in certain moment. I'm stuck somewhere between 3 and 4 point, where my flashtool doesn't correctly flash the ROM onto my Lt15i. From this bootloop I can't reach CWM or normal system to enter the google play or something.
I'll keep on trying flashing it, I'll also try to flash it from another computer
Is it possible that flashtool is being blocked by certain application like, I don't know, PC companion?
Additionally, I can't go back to the stock ROM via PC companion or SEUS, because when I'm in flashmode and phone is ready to flash, the PC companion says that my phone is already upgraded and there are no new updates to it, so it can't be upgraded, even tho there is some old flashed ROM inside ( I think PC companion reads the old ROM, that I used to have before bootloop, I believe it was the 4.0~~~~.62 version)

Disable antivirus and run the flash tool with adminstrator. Try to refalsh the .42 firmware.
Try to flash the .42 ftf with old version of flash tool. I saw some cases where with new flash tool, .42 is not flashed successfully.

Rooted/Bootloader Unlocked

screen. I dont know what to do. I have the Verizon CDMA version with the bootloader unlocked, I tried restoring it from the two images(?) I made before I tried installing the zip file but the zip file installation failed/aborted and the restores dont do anything. I tried flashing to stock firmware but it says
15/012/2014 23:12:01 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";
15/012/2014 23:12:01 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
do i know have the right firmware? is the r800i not the verizon cdma version? Where can I get the r8000x firmware/rom I cant find it anywhere. I can still access clockwork mod screen I think.
got it?
I restored it to some stock I found on the net but now when I tried reinstalling 7.2 CM rocking the volume keys did nothing and it just stuck at the xpera project logo, do I need to reunlock the bootloader again if I reflashed stock?
You tried restoring it to "some stock". This is not a good idea as it may not be compatible with your device. What i suggest you to do is to click this link below,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897
and scroll down to the firmware sections and flash the enhanced .58 firmware if you have R800i, if you have r800a then flash the r800at stock firmware.
Hope i helped, since i also had this problem a few months back
Hey guys,
I have XZL C6503 and was on eXistenZ v4 with unlocked bootloader and a few days ago my phone started to reboot randomly, so I decided to flash stock rom with flash tool.
But since then Im stuck in a bootloop.
I have read this Guide but I didnt managed it to work again.
I have no problems to go into flashmode/fastboot mode and I already tried out different kernels and managed to open CWM on my phone but no matter which rom I try to install barely the installation has started my phone turns off.
I flashed with flash tool:
C6503_10.3.1.A.2.67_Global-LTE.ftf
C6503_10.3.A.0.423_MEA.ftf
C6503_10.5.A.0.230_BR.ftf
Flashtool did not produce any error, but my phone wont go further than the SONY logo.
I also tried the tool emma, but it was just as with flashtool.
When I try Sony PC Companion it produces some error, same with SEUS, probably cause of the unlocked bootloader.
Do you know any way to help me out?
I just need to relock my bootloader to send it back to sony.
Backup TA need unfortunately a running system.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Well... When im having a bootloop, i usually flash the stock ftf, then wipe ALL.... It works for me
hm I tried it serveral times, but didnt succeed
I read some tip, which suggests to flash a rom via fastboot, but I need a rom that comes with a system.img
Do you know where to get such file?
